RPAGF Chapter 170 Transferring Power
Chapter 170 Transferring Power
Aunt Xu was shot by an arrow and died. Wu Mu immediately jumped after her, but the killer had already escaped.
After checking Aunt Xu's breath, Gu Jin frowned and said, "It seems that the other party came prepared. Aunt Xu has been abandoned. Perhaps even the letter from the concierge was sent by this person behind the scenes."
The other party not only has the leverage over Aunt Xu, but also knows everything about the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.
Knowing that once the truth was revealed, Aunt Xu would lose her greatest protection.
It is really frightening to have such an opponent lurking in the dark.
Seeing that Gu Jin was not afraid but could analyze things calmly, Marquis Yongchang finally believed what it meant that there could be two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.
The little girl and the little boy are evenly matched in some ways.
"I will first go to the palace to see the emperor..."
Gu Jin didn't wait for Yongchang Hou to finish his words before saying, "Then I'll take people to search Aunt Xu's residence to see if there are any clues."
Marquis Yongchang pursed his lips and uttered a deep "hmm".
A child who is too stupid makes people angry, and a child who is too smart makes people inexplicably lonely.
Huo came from a military family, so this kind of thing was just a small matter in her eyes.
But Su had never seen such a scene before, and was a little flustered for a moment. Seeing Gu Jin's worry, Huo said, "I'll stay and accompany your mother-in-law, you can just focus on your work."
"Yes, grandmother."
Looking at Gu Jin's vigorous and decisive figure, a hint of relief appeared in Huo's eyes.
At least there are two capable younger generations in the Yongchang Marquisate.
Aunt Xu's personal maid disappeared, and Gu Jin guessed that it might be her who tipped off the person behind the scenes.
She searched both of Aunt Xu's residences but found nothing valuable, and the clue was cut off.
Gu Jin couldn't help but miss Xie Ran. He was better at this kind of thing.
After leaving Aunt Xu's yard, he saw Xie Qing standing outside the yard in a daze. Gu Jin glanced at him and pretended not to see him.
"I've been deserted by everyone and have ended up in such a state. You should be happy about this now." Xie Qing spoke quietly. The biting cold wind ruffled his hair, revealing a fragile fragility.
Gu Jin looked at him intently and pulled his cloak closer.
"You must be sick!"
Xie Qing looked incredulous.
He's already like this, any human being should come and comfort him!
“Father gave you the throne of the crown prince, and grandmother has always advised you to take the right path.
Although Gu Rou quarrels with you, she is willing to bear children for you.
But because you revealed Aunt Xu's true face, you are deserted by everyone?"
"It's not that they betrayed you, but that you never cared about them at all!
Your grandmother and father have advised you many times, have you ever taken it to heart?
Aunt Xu is a vicious person, but in your opinion, the people she is dealing with are also those you dislike, so you assume that what she does is right. "
"You call yourself a gentleman, but you are not upright. You are strict with others and lenient with yourself. Anyone who does not meet your expectations is considered to be treating you badly.
You are almost going to be a father, but you are still a giant baby. You can't blame others for your situation!"
Just like when they exchanged the bride, was it Gu Rou and the others who pressed Xie Qing's head and forced him to do so?
What Gu Jin couldn't stand the most was hypocrites like Xie Qing, who clearly had despicable intentions but still tried to cover up themselves, as if the whole world was forcing him.
Xie Qing originally wanted to seek comfort but was scolded by Gu Jin instead, feeling even more ashamed and angry.
But Gu Jin didn't give him any chance to argue. He scolded him and left.
Xie Qing felt extremely depressed. In the evening, he received news that Marquis Yongchang had voluntarily handed over all the military power in his hands.
Xie Qingwen didn't take it too seriously.
He originally felt that fighting and killing was not the right way, and now if the country wanted to govern with culture and bring honor to its family, they had to rely on him.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
When he went out of the house to attend banquets, he clearly felt that people were not as warm to him as before. Even friends who used to get along well with him did not send him invitations to their banquets.
After asking around, he found out that the Yongchang Marquisate was now seen as a toothless tiger by outsiders, not to be feared or even worthy of being won over. Naturally, he, the eldest son of the Yongchang Marquis, was no longer of great importance.
Xie Qing was filled with anger. He went to find Yongchang Marquis with a cold face and said, "Why did father hand over the military power without discussing it? Do you know how the outside world views my Marquisate now?"
